Just wondering, do you take offense when.......

[AMIFL]

Do you take offense when people say that you are obesessed with your tank?

 

[X_not_again_x]

No, thats because I am Takes a lot of dedication to keep a SW tank.. And if people misconstrue that as obsession than let them.

 

[AMIFL]

I must say I agree. I take pride in my reef!

 

[X_not_again_x]

Those who don't take pride in a reef usually come out with problems!

 

[sherm71tank]

If I admit I'm obsessed does that mean I have a problem? Ahh.... It keeps me out of the bars doesn't it!

 

[Wrench]

I agree. Dedicated, not obsessed. Well put

agreed. at least u have something to look at for all the money spent instead of feeling like crap the next day.

I laugh! I think it is a lot of fun & rewarding. So what is the difference, They do not have to agree. I think they are crazy for not getting it.

 

[crossi92]

Screw dedicated...I'm just plain obsessed!

 

[REEF-n-Chicago]

crossi92> AGREED!!!!

Eh, try going through high school being known as the Fish guy.


Ok, so maybe it wasn't annoying but every once in awhile someone would mention it. (Half the time with questions, haha)

 

[reeferaddiction]

obsessed and proud of it. this pic is of a 72 reef and a 125 fowlr in my bedroom, i think that makes me obsessed

 

[Tpareefer]

Denial....isn't just a river in Egypt. We all are obsesed. The sooner you can accept it, the sooner you can move on

If you stare into your tank for more than you stare at your girlfriend / wife....you might be a reefneck!

:smokin:

 

[Tpareefer]

reefer...is that your stereo in the middle of your 2 saltwater tanks?? Any issues yet??

 

[ACBlinky]

I wouldn't be offended if someone said I was obsessed, but I think there's definitely a line between dedication and obsessing over something, which I haven't crossed yet. I do care a great deal about what goes on inside my reefs, and I guess I spend significant amounts of time making sure the fish & corals are as happy as possible in my care - if that's obsession, then you can go right ahead and label me obsessed .

If you would rather buy that 120.00 $ per poylp zoo before paying the rent then you maybe a red neck reefer.

If you see potentail in a rock that will take all weekend to remove and the wife misses out on dinner and a movie then you might be a red neck reefer.

LOL just enjoy and remember the is not a hobby that any unobsessed person can do well. GL

 

[LukFox]

Not at all because I am. I've gone through High School known as the Fish Girl, and I'm fine, haha.

^You're a girl? For some reason I always thought you were a dude. No offense.
I tell my parents it's better than buying weed.

Most people on here think the same, I'm sure. For some reason people see "Luk" but their brain tells them "Luke". I don't really care .
